About Me

I've been in seasons of financial abundance, seasons of financial question, seasons of singleness, marriage, parenthood, seasons of physical illness, seasons of strength.
One regret looking back is living in the "when" throughout a lot of my life. WHEN I feel better, WHEN I get married, WHEN morning sickness is over....
So my goal and my daily reminder is that God has me in this season for His purposes to produce what He desires in me. So I'm still soooo not there yet, but I am trying to embrace my season. Gratefully, it's a process.

I just hung brown curtains in a green room. I'll take a photo and show you sometime, But that's just paint and fabric. As far back as I can remember I have loved trees. I climbed them, fell out of them, sat in them and under them. I used to stand at the edge of the pine woods behind our house even in the elementary grades and look up at the trees. I was fascinated and terrified as wind blew them into each other making huge cracking sounds. I used to lay back in the leaves and listen the million "crinkles and crunches" as my body settled into the pile. When I was in middle school I memorized "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer. When we were deciding where to go for a visit, my Gracie asked, "...but does it have trees?" Praise our Father who is so bountiful as to provide us with trees.

So my family (sister, cousins, dad) invented a new game on Christmas day. We had to leave early so I missed this creative experience. So here it is New Year's Day. My family came up to visit and right now we are playing "Scrabbo."

Highlight: Horrible racks of all vowels. Just when you strategize the next word, you have to pass the rack to the person on your left. Just when you can do nothing at all, you receive a rack of worse letters!

This is a hilarious game. Wanna play? All you need is a Scrabble game and a set of Uno cards.

Yes, that means that after the first round, everyone has different numbers of tiles. But regardless of number of tile, if a person uses all of their letters on one round they get 50 extra points.

The coolest part are the crazy "other" cards. Wild- get to place a word anywhere on the board on a subsequent turn. Wild, draw 4 - pick 4 tiles and place a word anywhere. Draw Two - give back 2 tiles Reverse - hand over your entire rack one person clockwise. When one person runs out of letters, the game is over & scores should be added up. Hilarious!!! You should try it!
